Learning about staying safe online is very important. At Junction Farm Primary School. We make sure our pupils are aware of some of the risks to safety that are online and what to do to stay safe. We have a set of rules which the children are expected to follow at home and in school to make sure they stay safe online. These rules can be viewed below and should be followed when using all kinds of technology such as mobile phones, games consoles and home computers.

Junction Farm’s E-Cadets!

We are proud to have children ambassadors for online safety, who represent their classes and peers to form Junction Farm’s E-Cadets! Their role around school is to promote safe and responsible internet usage, providing useful advice to their peers. They provide a voice to the pupils of Junction Farm for all things online safety and encourage the next generation of e-safety!

If you have any concerns about safety online, please contact the school.

At Junction Farm Primary School we are committed to keeping children safe when using the internet. However, much of children’s internet access occurs outside of school and we ask parents/carers to be supportive, interested and vigilant to their child’s usage.

Some of the main apps children access including Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Whatsapp and Twitter are all restricted to age 13 years or above.

The internet is a fantastic resource which is accessible for everyone, however there is a dark side which we aim to educate children about ways to keep themselves safe. Here you will find a range of websites that are useful in supporting you to support your child when using the internet. Click on the images below for direct links to useful websites and information.
